  1. If I were to guess, I'd say you should talk to a Xentry representative about it.
  2. Appears to have severed communications with the engine ECU. Assuming you didn't hydrolock the engine after plunging through floodwaters....
  3. Beneath that heatshrink is effectively a Raychem solder junction. The wicking process is halted when a solder block is placed on the strands. The early M271 engine, which had issues with the camshaft adjuster magnets, was the reason Mercedes made these. Interestingly, the issue didn't arise until Mercedes abandoned the long-used configuration of their wiring plugs. Modern techniques involve crimping tiny pins to the copper strands instead of soldering them, as opposed to the previous method of using large, spherical pins. Unchecked, the oil will wick up the copper to the other end, which is shocking to some.
  4. You are aware that heatshrink can be applied with a heat gun. 😉
  5. How intriguing that the CX-90 completely outshone the Q7 after you upgraded from a 23-year-old Lexus. The CX 90 has a number of quarks, including premium features that aren't up to par with Lexus or Audi, but it's aesthetically pleasing and has a leather inside. Though the brown quilted leather interior of my fully-loaded premium turbo S is stunning, I can't help but believe that it's missing a few high-end features found in the Lexus (even at 23MY) and the updated Q7. Guarantee that your software is flashed and updated correctly. It appears to have eliminated most of the peculiarities, but the gearbox is still really jerky; they called it sporty, but it's more like incredibly choppy. Mazda deserves a lot of credit for their exterior styling, which is noticeably more subdued compared to Lexus and the Q7.
  6. I have purchased two icarsoft units—the mb3 and the cr pro—but neither of them have been compatible with my 2018–2019 GLC coupe.
  7. Constant stalling and terrible gas mileage were just two of the several problems with our 1994 E280. Forgot to clean the MAF. Everything is back to normal now that I bought a Pierburg MAF from AutoDoc for around 160€. Besides spending forty euros on two new engine mounts, this is the finest improvement you can make to this vehicle. Some online discussions have made the case that the Pierburg MAF is an improved and far less expensive alternative to the original. That is something I am not qualified to say anything about. We also conducted a smoke test, and the results were encouraging. Hope everything works out.
  8. My vehicle is programmed to initiate in Eco mode to maintain low RPMs during engine warm-up.
  9. It is time to attend a tuning shop.
  10. I would purchase any pink coolant provided it bears the manufacturer's reference. MB325.6 is correct. The capacity of my 2012 S204 C220 is 6.5 litres (blue variant). I would consult the manual or search for it online. I find it somewhat peculiar that the S205 has a capacity of 8.5 to 10 litres. I purchase a concentrated solution and dilute it with 40% to 60% water, as advised, using a ratio of 2 to 3 parts water. That is satisfactory for weather conditions in the UK.
  11. The CLK is truly a testament to your efforts. Exquisite hue as well.
  12. Indeed, my device malfunctioned recently, indicating that the vehicle was at home, but it was actually 11 miles away at the golf course. Currently functioning adequately.
  13. Possibly first equipped with a Tracker, which has a small rechargeable battery that is charged by the vehicle's battery. This diminutive battery may be defective; a similar issue occurred with a friend of mine. It took four months before someone made a diagnosis.

  15. The handbook can be ordered online from the Haynes website; refer to the link below.
  16. As other people have expressed, I appreciate the vehicle. All vehicles possess certain defects; yet, I am exceedingly satisfied with mine.
  17. The volume of the "over the speed limit by 5 mph" warning sound in the 2025 Toyota Camry LE is adjustable. This auditory notification is a component of Road Sign Assist (RSA) inside Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. It emits a beep when you surpass a certain speed restriction by a specified margin (often 5 mph, but customisable). Methods for Adjustment Utilise the steering wheel controls to navigate the Multi-Information Display (MID). Access Settings > Driving Assist (or Vehicle Settings) > RSA (Road Sign Assist). Choose the speed alert settings: Select either Visual only (disabling the beep completely) or Visual + Audible. Modify the excess speed threshold (e.g., Off, +1 mph, +3 mph, +5 mph). Adjust the alarm loudness, generally categorised as Low, Medium, or High, corresponding to levels 1 through 3. These configurations remain effective upon a restart of the vehicle in U.S.-spec vehicles. Owners of 2025 Camrys verify that the volume is entirely changeable or can be muted through these menus, distinct from navigation-related speed alerts (which possess a separate announcement toggle). If the specific menu path differs significantly on your LE trim, consult the digital owner's manual at Toyota.com or navigate to Setup > Vehicle > Driving Assist on the touchscreen for equivalent options.
  18. Indeed, I installed these when I replaced the entire suspension a few years prior. I sincerely hope this knocking is due to a little issue, but it increasingly appears to be related to the subframe mounting points. This vehicle does not justify the expense of the repairs.
